This is the time of year when many of us reflect on our blessings. I lost a mother in law in July 2010 and my beloved Dad in August 2010. My dad had suffered with the after effects of cancer treatment for 7 years. I will miss him forever... and ever. I am happy though, that he is now at peace and taking time for himself. He endured beyond what anyone should.
My mom, sister and I are now closer than we have ever been. This is one of those gifts from the sad loss of Dad. We have always loved one another, but now there is more of a closeness, and time of reflecting for all of us. We have had our parents over 50 years and they had each other for over 60 years. Wow! Gifts of love and relationships at its finest.
It is Thanksgiving soon. I do hope for all that are on this earth, whether it is blood family or acquired family or friends, wishing and hoping for a place for all to feel togetherness.
Take care... Sandy
